It's somewhat disconcerting for Dart to merely be seen as "promising", especially given its competition.
It would take a lot of effort to do worse than JavaScript.
CoffeeScript is basically just JavaScript with a Ruby-inspired syntax.
TypeScript is only a very minimal set of improvements to JavaScript.
If it's doing things right, it should be blowing all three of those away with ease, especially given its origin. The fact that its uptake is so slow suggests that it isn't competing against them very well, which I take to be a bad sign going forward.
- adrianlmm 13y agoTo make this clear, when I say "Promising" I don't mean it as something vague, Dart is in beta now and it will hit the 1.0 status this year, so start using it and learning it today ain't that crazy.
- spankalee 13y agoDart's uptake is slow because it hasn't really been released yet. It's pre-1.0 and has been evolving pretty rapidly until recently. I'm not worried.
